How the Scottish Tech Army supported a beloved grassroots charity to grow post-pandemic
The Daisy Project (Domestic Abuse Integrated Support for You) provides integrated domestic abuse advocacy and support services to families across the South of Glasgow. Originally named the Castlemilk Domestic Violence Project, the charity was formed in 2000 based on a need identified within the local community and is now run by a dedicated team of five qualified Independent Domestic Abuse Advocates (IDAAs) who have extensive experience of supporting women long-term.
A pitch-perfect solution to honour young bagpiper
The Eilidh MacLeod Memorial Trust was set up in 2018 following the death of 14-year-old Eilidh MacLeod in the Manchester Arena bombing on 22nd May 2017. Eilidh was a talented bagpiper, and so the Trust was established by her family to ensure that her legacy of fun, friendship and love of music lives on for others.
